Times article on finds of tin ingots of Cornish origin found in a 12th or 13th century shipwreck in Eastern Med https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/cornish-tin-found-in-israel-is-hard-evidence-of-earliest-trade-links-wg8qt6hhj University of Heidelberg press release and link to the journal paper at https://www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/newsroom/the-enigma-of-bronze-age-tin

Decent sized visitor to the bay this morning. HMS Lancaster along with two small patrol boats popped by, mooched around for half an hour and then ambled off They missed the best of the weather as by 5pm the cloud had lifted and it was a glorious afternoon. They could have sent a boat ashore to bulk buy ice creams

Ricoh Arena?

Westland Wapiti & Hawker Hector?

p.s. despite all the dense black smoke I’m sure it sits in the mid range of some of the panel line staining and weathering some models sport

You’ve managed to make a smouldering monstrosity out of a sow’s ear. Well done!

A mate got a good pic of the Dutch van Amstel in the bay earlier. I think the Merlin was sub hunting as AIS now has a Norwegian submarine off the South of Holy Isle where it spent a good while hovering

Also a Merlin flying around, HMS Archer, HNLMS van Amstel and a rib load of Marines hooning around the bay

Three bits of floating ironmongery this afternoon off Holy Isle HMS Northumberland, HMS Charger and I’m not sure which one is lurking in the distance
